What happened to the links to a Stack App mentioned in the documentation about write access?
This is a documentation bug in my opinion. The "via Example App" was never included, nor should it be. …

https://stackoverflow.com/oauth

Please "release" and/or document API version 2.3
Note that version 2.3 has been around since at least Aug 28, 2015 (Date of that answer).
I could have sworn that one of the SE guys said they weren't going to document it, but can't find a reference …

My filter is not returning any results. How to create a minimal filter?
The key mistake here is neglecting the Wrapper Object, and this is a big flaw with the filter documentation.
The wrapper is the box that everything you get from the API comes in. …

What does "in practice" mean here?
Strictly speaking, that line is incorrect. The method will always return a JSON object (barring certain server failures).
But the items array will be empty or missing.
On success, the default objec …

“Try It” URL has wrong URI
The link is correct. The purpose of that control is to provide a URL to the doc page with all the parameters prefilled. This is what most users expect and is similar to how that link control works o …

Notice field on questions may be absent?
Yes, officially this is a documentation bug. From the Absent Fields doc:
Fields that are not always guaranteed to be set... are indicated in the per-type documentation. … Any discrepency(sic) between observed behavior and the documentation should be reported on Stack Apps. …

Why is the `site` parameter required in `/me` call?
RE:
Is site the api_site_parameter of the site object?
Yes. Although as stated in the "Per-Site Methods" section of the main doc page, you can also use the full domain name, EG cooking.stackexchan …

`types=main_site` in `/me/associated` gives `meta_site` accounts also
This is exactly how it should be (except that the doc page might be more explicit).
The meta_site parameter refers to Per-site Metas.
Meta Stack Exchange is not a per-site meta. Think of it as a …

The /tags query is not giving me the correct results between two dates?
This is either a bug with the route or an omission in the documentation.
Workaround:
Use the /search or the /search/advanced routes, with a filter that just returns total. …

link in post_id in /me/notifications/unread is wrong
This is a very minor bug in the documentation page.
The online doc page adds a convenient hyperlink to the post (The link part is not in the API's JSON response). That's a good thing. … As for the rest, the documentation clearly says:
post_id 2.1 integer, refers to a post, may be absent
(Emphasis added)
post_id is present only when the notification refers to a specific post …
